Impact Driver vs Drill: What's the Difference?
AVID POWER Impact driver is designed to drive wood and sheet-metal screws, but it can also turn a bolt with help from an impact-rated socket. Faster than a cordless drill, an impact driver’s compactness makes it easier to handle, especially in tight spots or when you’re standing on a ladder. It drives and removes by applying concussive, rotational force to the screw or bolt head.
